Baby led solids

Hello Everyone,

My baby is now 8 months old I think we are already a little overdue for starting solids (yes, he shows all the signs). Anyway, I am interested in exploring Baby led solids. It's been mentioned in several threats. Does anyone know where I can find more infomration on the topic? (I am lookiing for details... e.g. which foods are appropriate to start with, bite size for the recommended foods, etc). So far, I have only found an overview article, but nothing that really tells me how to go about it.

Re: Baby led solids

And you can still use the food chart from Wholesome Baby to help you decide which foods to start when

Edited: Just wanted to add that Avocado and Sweet Potato are perfect first foods. Here's some nutritional info about Avocados and Sweet Potatoes
